'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' footage, behind-the-scenes interviews
Twitter
Watch footage and behind-the-scenes interviews from the new-on-DVD "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" starring Richard Gere."Hachi" is based on the true story of a professor (Richard Gere) who adopts a lost Akita puppy he finds at a train station.
Every day Hachi shows up to greet Professor Parker Wilson when he arrives home from work, until one day when the professor passes away while at his office and doesn't return home on the train.
Hachi continues to appear at the train station everyday, waiting for his master. DVD Town says the film is "a warm, genuine film that is appropriate for just about anybody." Entertainment Weekly gives it an A-, calling it "a three-hankie gem." We would imagine fans of "Marley & Me" might want to give this one a look. "Hachi" is available on DVD Tuesday, March 9.

If you think this was a great movie, I strongly suggest finding the original Japanese movie it was based on, called "Hachiko Monogatari" (The Tale of Hachiko). It's a much more poignant tale.
Thanks Sony for deciding this would be better on DVD rather than part of their release sked including "Oscar Hopeful" The Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston. I'm sure that has much more redeeming social value than a story about dedication and family.
Wonderful video. I saw the trailer too and, as a dog lover, became mesmerized by Hachiko's story.
Here's a wonderful story about a writer who wrote a book inspired by Hachi: http://www.thedailytail.com/nonfiction/hachiko-the-dog-an-inspiration/
great movie, Up there with [my dog skip and marly and me
This was the nicest touching story I have ever seen. What love this beautiful dog had for his master. I cried sobad watching this. There should be more true stories like this one. There are many out there. I thought that Richard Gere blended so very good with this beautiful dog.What a beautiful movie!!!!
